VisionQuest Boss Promises Tons of ‘Robot Action’ Despite Human Ultron in MCU Show
Terry Matalas says James Spader’s performance shaped Ultron’s human portrayal, while the series still promises plenty of robot action.
- Showrunner Terry Matalas confirmed VisionQuest, starring Paul Bettany, debuts October 14, placing the Marvel series around 2028. Matalas stated, "Years have passed since 'WandaVision.' I would say we're about current with 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day."
- Vision, having escaped those seeking to weaponize him, exists in hiding while consulting embedded AI personas including Ultron. A bounty placed on his head forces him on the run with Thomas Shepherd, a mysterious boy potentially linked to his origins.
- Matalas confirmed the show features human actors playing artificial beings rather than full digital portrayals. James Spader returns as Ultron, prioritizing actor performances over burying the star under 100 kilograms of digital vibranium.
- Viewers can expect significant "robot action" in the series, which serves as a thematic sequel to WandaVision and Agatha All Along. Bettany called the project "funny," "moving," and "super exciting," noting it stands as its own distinct work.
- Matalas clarified he is not teasing the return of Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, despite the series building toward a major late-season emotional moment. Bettany helped shape this pivotal scene, which he emphasized will not mislead fans about Wanda's involvement.
